COMMERCIAL PROVERBS.

Men who have company must have
money.
Some men carry too much sail, some
too little.
Great men when analysed usually
prove to be very small men.
Men trade on borrowed reputation as
they trade on borrowed capital.
Good intentions will not help man
on his way if he takes the wrong road.
The history of trade shows that fail
ure is the rule and winning the eXcep-
ton.
Money moves the crops that make
the great West the granary of the
world.
One man is overnice and becomes
fuSSy; another is careless and loses his
trade.
The same great lesson of failure is
taught in the professions that is taught
in trade.
One man ruins his business because
he is Sloyen; another ruins it because
he is a fOp.
Men neither win nor loose in the same
way. One fails and is smart; another
wins and is dull.
Talent and temper often go together.
1t is rare to find a sharp, bright man
that is a courteous man.
The merchants of Old Tyre were
"princeS. and her traffickerS were the
honorable of the earth"
Integrity. honor and piety do not save
a man from disasters if he fails to OF
serve the law of success.
The law of success is as certain as the
law of tides All must obey these laws
if they would prosper.
A diamond with flaw is better than
pebble without. But the flaw adds
nothing to the value of the diamond.

fluence. He then struck into the
haru coal business, the firm be-
ing Hill, Griggs Il Acker. Their
place of business was in the little
twO-story brick building located
on the southeast corner of Third and
Minnesota streets. where the Mann
heimer block now stands. The firm did
a very heavy business. At last he left
that and went out to the Red river coun-
try, and while running boats on that
stream he, with others, saw the POSSIBLE
tiles of the Red river valley, and then
turned his mind to getting pOssessldn of
the old st. Paul & Pacific road, now the
Manitoba. When once he became en-
gagged in that he put his whole mind to
the business, and FROM that time to the
present he has turned his whole atten-
ton to making that road one of the
greatest railroads in the land. The fact
that this past summer, from May till
September, he caused to be built over
GOO miles of road, from Min0t, OAK, to
Helena, Mont, illustrates his energy
This is regarded as the greatest piece of.
railroad construction ever accomplished.
In all respects he is a remarkable man.

three girls in house they each
have a place for putting their

it out of their months few minutes. or
to eat their meals. They will soon make
gum of different tlavOrs and the fashion

Hill. WHO was then connected with him
in the Red river business, sold out.
These gentlemen were far-seeing
and observing. They knew that
the growth of the country
required something more for its deyel-
opment than the boats on the Red River
of the North, and the OX-cartS, making
their slow. tedious way from the Red
river valley to st. Paul. Population
was then coming into Minnesota more
rapidly. As state she was attracting
attention. The valley of the Red river
was known to be fertile region. The
railroad. known then as the st. Paul &
Pacific. but now as the Manitoba, was
secured and extended to the boundary
line, where it was met by the Canadian
road. OF course, the railroad naturally
ended the boating business on the Red
river, and it subsequently dwindled to
nothing and was abandoned. SubSe-
quent profitable investments by Mr..
KittSon placed him in such affiuent fipan-
cial circumstances as to make him indie
pendent. and he withdrew from the rail
road business and began setting his house
in order, so that he could be relieved
from business cares and the anxiety
and worry necessarily connected there

government bonds and solid securities.
SO that they are safe and he is wholly
relieved from the care and bother of
b uSineSS affairs. As to how much these
amount to it is probable that but one
man knows.
J. J. Hill is entitled to be regarded as
phenomenal man in more respects
than one. He is rated as one of the
richest men in the city, and is probably
entitled to this reputation. For the last
ten years of his life he has probably
carried in his mind matters of such
weight and Importance as would break
down most men and send them to
lunatic asylum. Fifteen or eigh
teen years ago he was working
by the month on the levee in tie old

Sibley street, opposite the:union depot.

young ladies.
what do you want, Marie, Kit, MOllie,
Bessie, Katie, tell me quick?" exclaimed
the leader of the party, who was called
Georgianna. Most of them wanted chew
ing gum, although Bessie invested in

ViOlets and crushed rose leaves, a
few of the unheard of daintieS
invented by enterprising candymallers.

empty in an afternoon. There are some

grew brighter upon the darkened wall
beyond. By slow degrees it assumed
definite shape, until at length a human
form became distinctly discernible.

hoarsely, as he pointed to reddish spot
which glOwed in the center of what
seemed to be the specter's face.
''The very feature" echoed the medi-

secretary before mentioned, ''And the
chin-whiskers are unmistakable."
By this time everyone had recognized
the phantasm, which exhibited start

it was, the members shifted their chairs
slightly, as If seeking mutual prOpin-
guilty, and continued to eye the ghost
with lesSening trepidation. A feeling of
scientific curiosity took the place of
fear.
Meanwhile the specter did not change
its attitude, save when at intervals it
lifted something not quite distinguish
able to its lips. After performing this
operation each time it would grin pleas
antly and vigorously rub the place where

YOUTH IN ALL AGES THE SAME
In Affairs of the Heart There is
Little Variation in the Story.

In one of Yerkes' North side palace
cars a few days ago a gushing couple
took passage at Lincoln park for the
heart of the city, says the Chicago Trib-
une. They were ObliyiOus of surround
ingS, and began to discuss a package of
letters which the maiden took from her
pocket After long and SolicitOus con-
SultatiOn it seemed to have been decided
to destroy the tender misSiyes. and one
by one they were torn into fragments
and thrown out Of the window. 4 hard
hearted passenger who alighted at Oak
street stopped and picked up one of the
pieces. Subsequently he. handed it to
reporter. remarking that it was not nee
eSSarily for publication, but simply as a
guarantee of good faith. And here Is

been conducted so quietly that few peo-
pie have had any adequate idea of how
rapidly he was multiplying his accum-
ulatiOnS. oAlthOugh he is one of the
most quiet gentlemen in the community,
he is one of the. shrewdest, far-Seeing
and energetic of men. He is remarka-
bly, cool and collected, seldom allowing
himself to be thrown off his bal
ance by anything that is said or done.
His wealth runs up into the millions,
and has been largely made within the
last few years.
Among the most successful citizens
may be claSSed Edward Langevin, and
all his wealth, which is very great, has
been made by dealing in real estate. He
began small and has gradually bought
and sold more heavily, till during the
last few years he has been one of our
heaviest operators. One of his peculiar
tiles has Leen the purchase of unim-
proved property and then buying old
cheap frame buildings, placing them
upon the property, improving and rent
ing them. In this way the realty has
been made to pay the taxes and assess
mentS, while the rise in values has been
relied upon for the solid profits, which
have been large. Mr.. Langevin is
character in the community. and is
about as well known as any citizen in
our midst. He is very close, careful
buyer, and knows how to hold On to his
property till the proper time comes to
sell. What he has he will keep till he
can get proper price for it. Few men
are his equals in his chosen line.
